India is hosting the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi on September 12-13.
New Delhi's 2026 chairship is focused on 'Building for Resilience, Innovation, Co-operation and Sustainability'. It is pushing a 'humanity-first' and 'people-centric' approach, with stronger Global South co-operation and influence on the world's stage.
It marks the first time India has led the newly-expanded BRICS organisation - 11 members, plus 10 partner countries introduced in 2025.
BRICS is now a hugely influential bloc, comprising 40 per cent of global GDP and nearly half the world's population. It was created in 2009 by Brazil, Russia, India, and China, with South Africa joining a year later - and later expanded again, admitting more countries in 2024 and 2025.
